Can I Switch from the Multnomah County Courthouse to the East County Courthouse?No. If you have been summonsed for a specific date in either the Multnomah County Courthouse or the East County Courthouse, you may not switch to the other location and serve in the alternate location. Nor may you defer service and then change locations for service on the date of the deferral. The summons is a specific order of the court which must be followed as to the date of service and location. You may defer service by law. The location of your service, however, was chosen by random selection from a list of all the eligible jurors residing in Multnomah County, and allowing a change in the location of service even on a later date of service will alter the randomness required by law for jurors to serve in a specific location in Multnomah County.
